What do you think?

Curious if I’m just being overly sensitive, or if this was just kinda crappy.

For sake of arguement, let’s say you have a family member pass away and the executor is writing the obituary. When it comes to family, would you include by name the lady that was married to the son of the deceased, but has since remarried? You know - we are aren’t related by blood and the only tie I had to the family was my deceased husband, and Oh, I’ve remarried and haven’t been a part of the family for a long time?

On that note, say your grandson was married and there were two children - one from a previous marriage, but that child considered the deceased family and is very distraught? Would you just, you know, leave her out of the count?

IMHO, I don’t think the daughter-in-law that’s no longer a daughter in law but now married to someone else shouldn’t have been listed. And yes, I think the child - who has been part of the family for 12 of her 14 years - should have been.

So…am I just overly sensitive, or just crazy?

    I agree. That’s shitty.

    The daughter is family, unless you are an unwashed heathen. My niece just got married to a man who has a son. That son? is HER son and my parents greatgrandchild.

    It costs so little to love I don’t understand why more people don’t do it.
